BARRE ENERGY ACTION RESOURCE GROUP PRESENTS
ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR HOMEOWNERS
(Barre VT—11/2/2011)— Are you worried about heating costs for this winter? Do you want to save money AND make your home more comfortable for the cold weather? Please join BEAR (Barre Energy Action Resource) group for a free Button Up Vermont workshop on November 16, 2011 at the Barre Town Offices 149 Westerville Road, Barre, VT from 7-9 PM. Button Up Vermont is an informational session designed to help Vermonters learn the basics of building science and how to improve energy efficiency in their homes.
The free workshop was originally developed in 2008 by Central Vermont Community Action Council and is offered this year in partnership with Efficiency Vermont. It includes an overview of why building efficiency is so important here in Vermont, illustrates how homes lose energy, and outlines clear steps that homeowners can take to address this energy loss. A Building Performance Institute-certified contractor is the main presenter and questions are encouraged.
Bob Somaini, proprietor of the East Barre Antique Mall, said, “Anybody who cares about the environment and energy consumption will find little things you can do to save energy. For answers as to how, go to the Button Up workshop. It’s free,” he added.
Owners of homes and businesses in Barre and the surrounding area are invited to attend the two-hour session to learn about actions they can take to lower energy bills and make their homes and businesses more comfortable and affordable.
“We’re offering this workshop in Barre because with rising heating costs, everyone needs to be thinking about ways to make their homes more efficient,” said Elaine Wang – BEAR Co-Chair. “We hope that by sharing this information, we can help our residents be more comfortable in their homes and get more control of their heating expenses.”
Button Up Vermont workshops are being offered in communities around the state this fall and winter. To find a workshop, or to find information about hosting one in your community, visit buttonupvt.com.
We hope to see you on Wednesday November 16th at 7PM for this useful, money saving workshop.
